A Github repository is basically a folder designed to store files. It is also available online for anyone to download, access, and contribute to the files/code within the folder.

Good news for those with active GitHub profiles: you can now add files to your repos by dragging and dropping them into the browser. Once a file is uploaded, you can add it to an existing branch ...

Deleted files within public GitHub repositories could still be exposing secrets like API keys, tokens, and credentials, if threat actors knew where and how to look.
